Perhaps I missed it earlier, where are the LR accubonds coming from? Powdervalley and the like have dredged up nothing

I think I read where the DHS ordered about a million LR Accubonds.

But I have no need for anything Magnum... Me either. But, I wanted one or two.

Take a look at the case dimensions of a 7 Rem Mag and a 7mm Rem Mag.... I give up. What's the difference?

.....Ballistic Gack is one of the most trivial things in life possible, certainly... May be so. But, I think we all lose sleep over it.

I have now read this entire thread.

After all the gack that has flowed here is it safe to posit the idea of a: .300 Winny case necked to 7mm with the 40 degree Ackley shoulder wearing a barrel with the Weatherby freebore. It should provide the best of all worlds.

How does one create the freebore?
Just freebore a 7RemMag and you're there it would seem.

I had my smith bore my mashburn out so that the 160 grain accubond is seated even with the base of the neck. 3.67 if I recall correctly. This length just barely fits the magazine box. Are there any other long bullets that you think would work in a mashburn that is throated this long.

It is an interesting concept. Same bullet. Bore. Powder cap in the 98% range. Just scratch a bit more metal and you have nirvana... Huh...

7mm Rogue?
This was an interesting read. Never realized some of you were so deeply inflicted.

If you have a rifle that needs freebore, just shoot it a lot.

Here is something I'll add.
After shooting a couple of deer with the 145 LRX in the Mashburn I'm bored. So I loaded up some 150 Ballistic tips and went to the range. Low and behold with 73 grains of IMR 7828 I'm getting nice triangular 1/2" groups at 3151 fps. Drat that is way to slow. Or is it? Trajectory is within an inch to an inch and a half of that 145 LRX load at 3250 out to 500 yds. Big deal. So now I have a load that I know is breathing easy. Easier than any 7mm Rem Mag and it's in a better case design to boot.

You mean you havent seen any of the peekie weirdness that 7mm mags are noted for and your not shooting a rifle thats pre shot out from the factory usuing ammo that costs 120.00 a box?? dave
Only accurate rifles are interesting.
